ILKLEY HARRIERS Ilkley Moor fell race

The Ilkley Moor fell race has been staged by Ilkley Harriers every year since 1990. It is a hard fell race in Winter and not suitable for beginners as there are some steep, slippery, and rocky descents.

Pete Bland Sports again generously supported the race in 2013, providing winners' prizes and race numbers, and his travelling shop was at the event.

2014
